The People's Republic of Pradovnia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by The Dear Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 7.424 billion Pradovnians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaflograd. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Pradovnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,586 trillion Pradloks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 213,677 Pradloks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Re-education centers are being added to most prisons, disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pradovnia's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pradovnia is ranked 3,737^th in the world and 188^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,541.23 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
